That was cool. I would tag up the "VFR" pilot and run him thru FSDO.
You have proof he was IMC.


You'd have proof that he was in IMC only if he had collided with the guy at
7000 in IMC.

How would that provide proof that the collision took place in IMC?

Are you asking how the collision occuring in IMC would prove that the
collision took place in IMC?

Sounds like a "if a tree falls in the forest with no one near enough to hear
it" sort of question...

Because the guy at 7000 stated he was in IMC.

That's not proof, that's a statement. The other plane was
"saying" it's VMC.

A pilot's report of his flight conditions is taken as fact.

Procedurally, you are correct -- if the pilot says he's IMC,
ATC handles him accordingly. However, his statement isn't a
"fact" in the legal sense in that it's uncorraborated and in
the situation being discussed, another pilot is "saying" it's
VMC by his actions. Which of the two "facts" is correct?
